Tree Removal & Tree Service — Gladstone, MO
Tree Removal in Gladstone, MO
Gladstone has the oldest housing stock in the Northland — median home built in 1966, nearly nine in ten homes standing before 2000 — and trees planted to match. Those trees are now 50 to 70 years old, over ranch roofs all over town. We remove the failing ones in sections and keep the sound ones pruned. This page also covers North Kansas City.

Old Trees Over Ranch Homes
Gladstone's pattern is consistent: a big silver maple or oak planted beside a 1960s ranch, now twice the house's height and showing its age — deadwood in the crown, cavities at the base, limbs over the roof and the power drop. Northland winters haven't helped; ice loads are hard on old, brittle wood. Sectional removal over the roof, stump ground, yard raked — that's the standard job here, and it prices honestly.
Most single-tree removals in Gladstone run $694 to $1,100 complete; large trees over houses run $1,500 to $3,500. See the full breakdown on our Kansas City tree removal cost guide.
Ice & storm damage
The Northland's old canopy takes the worst of Kansas City ice storms — brittle silver maple and Bradford pear limbs come down on roofs, cars, and lines. After a storm: hangers and split trees made safe first, debris cleared, then the full takedown if the tree's done. Storm work prices inside the $2,500–$7,000 band by size and situation.
North Kansas City
North Kansas City's residential pockets have the same vintage of trees in a smaller footprint — old maples and oaks over close-set homes. Gladstone crews cover NKC on the same terms: free site visit, written line-by-line estimate, removal and stump in one visit.

How It Works
How a Job Runs — Visit to Cleanup
- 1
Site visit
An estimator looks at the tree, what's under it, and how a crew gets to it — free, usually within a couple of days.
- 2
Written estimate
Line-by-line: removal, stump, haul-off, cleanup. No allowances, no surprises — and an honest call on whether the tree should come down at all.
- 3
Work day
Sectional takedown, rigged away from roofs, fences, and lines. Crews work to industry-standard safety practice — helmets, ropes, spotters, and a controlled drop zone.
- 4
Cleanup & stump
Wood chipped and hauled (or stacked as firewood — your call), the stump ground below grade, and the yard left cleaner than the crew found it.

My ranch home's tree is older than the house. How do you take it down?
In sections, from the top down. Gladstone has the oldest housing stock in the Northland — median home built in 1966 — and its trees were planted to match. Over a low ranch roof there's no drop zone, so every section is roped and lowered. It's the standard job here, and it's what the written estimate prices.
Ice took half my tree last winter. Can the rest be saved?
Sometimes. The first job is making the damage safe — hangers and split leaders come down before they fall. What's left gets an honest look: a sound remainder can be pruned back to structure and kept; a trunk that split into the heartwood is a removal. The estimator will show you which one you have.
Do you serve North Kansas City too?
Yes — this page covers Gladstone and North Kansas City together: the neighborhoods off Antioch Road, North Oak, and Vivion, and NKC's older streets. Same free site visit, same written estimate.
Is the estimate really free — and is it in writing?
Yes to both. The site visit costs nothing, and the estimate is written and line-by-line — removal, stump, haul-off, and cleanup as separate lines.
